When contour lines are close together the land is steep
If the contour lines on a topographic map have wide spaces in between and are further apart then the terrain is relatively flat. If the contour lines are close together then the terrain forms a steep slope.
If the lines are contours - it signifies that the land is steeper the closer the lines are drawn
The closer the contours, the steeper the slope.
elevation. the closer the lines the steeper the slope.
The lines that connect points having the same elevation are a kind of isopleth called contour lines, or contours.The closer that the lines are on the map the steeper the terrain is.
The land is steep if the contour lines are close together
On a topographical map, a contour line indicates a change in elevation. When the lines are close together, the elevation is changing rapidly.
How close together the brown contour lines are Yes, the closer the contours the steeper the slope. Flat land, by definition, has no contour lines.
Where the slope is steep the contour lines will come close together.
If the contour lines on a topographic map are close together, that area is a steep slope. If the contours have wide spaces in between then the terrain is relatively flat. Many close contour lines mean the elevation is changing rapidly.
If the contour lines on a topographic map are close together, that area is a steep slope. If the contours have wide spaces in between then the terrain is relatively flat. Many close contour lines mean the elevation is changing rapidly while sparse contour lines mean elevation changes very little.
Contour lines that are close together on a topographic map indicate an area of steep slope. If they essentially overlap you have a cliff.
if someone were to make a topographic map they would mostlikly have a bunch a contour lines realy close together because the closer they are together the more steep it is.so i guess they would make close contour lines then make a drop off
true
gentle sope
contour lines that are very close together
Steep slopes
